THERMAL CONVERTER UNIT Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: heat engineering. SUBSTANCE: thermal converter unit has four similar modules A, B, C and D with similar desorbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, condensers 5, 6, 7 and 8, absorbers 9, 10, 11 and 12, evaporators 13, 14, 15 and 16 and heat exchangers 17, 18, 19 and 20 arranged in individual housings 21, 22, 23 and 24. Specific feature of unit consists in connecting its parts, in series forming and connecting closed loops 30 and 31 when condensers 5, 6, 7 and 8 and desorbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 are located above absorbers 9, 10, 11 and 12 and above evaporators 13, 14, 15 and 16, successively bringing line 26 of highly-potential medium being cooled to desorber 4 of module D, desorber 3 of module C and desorber 2 of module B, connecting condenser 7 and absorber 11 of module C and condense 8 and absorber of module D in series on medium being heated by means of line 25. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 1 dwg
